Herpes simplex virus oral infections are common and can be serious for immunocompromised individuals. Antiviral drugs may reduce complications, but their use in immunocompetent patients is debated.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes common oral infections.
  • HSV establishes latency and recurs, with no known cure.
  • Infections are typically minor in immunocompetent individuals but severe in immunocompromised patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management of oral herpes simplex virus infections.
  • To discuss the role of antiviral therapy, particularly in immunocompromised patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on herpes simplex virus oral infections.
  • Analysis of antiviral drug efficacy and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Oral HSV infections are prevalent and managed by dentists.

  • Antiviral therapies show promise in reducing morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients.
  • The benefit of antivirals for recurrent HSV in immunocompetent patients is under discussion.

    • Conclusions:

    • Oral herpes simplex virus infections require careful management.
    • Antiviral drugs offer potential benefits for immunocompromised individuals.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the role of antivirals in immunocompetent patients.
